Can A Mac Pro CPU Upgrade Help Improve Adobe Premiere and Pro Tool? Well I have had a Mac Pro 2010 12 core for quite some time. At time went by I always like to upgrade it. The first was the hard drive which I switched it to an SSD drive. Then I began to do videos I chose to upgrade my video card which was the Radeon VII This video card allowed me to edit 4K videos. As time goes by new technology is being built. Your computer May begin to slow down because of how old it gets. When I began to make videos I wish shooting in 1080p and now today I am shooting 5K. The reason why it’s going from 1080p up to 5K is because you can now see 4K videos on your phone. Most TVs today can actually display in 4k.
So for the amount of years I have had my Mac Pro 12 core, I wanted to speed up the computer so we can hopefully make Adobe Premiere and Pro Tools run faster and smoother. So then I decided to upgrade my CPU from a Xeon 2.66 GHz to Xeon 3.33 GHz. The upgrade only costed about $100 so it was worth it. When you buy he’s stalked 2010 Mac Pro they always come with a 2.66 GHz. As I begin to film in 5K and editing it in Adobe Premiere, Adobe Premiere with begin to lag. The camcorder I use is the red Scarlet dragon. When I am filming I always shoot it raw so I can get the most out of it. Compared to other products such as GoPro they do not film Raw. The lens that I use with my red Scarlet X Dragon is the red Pro lens which is in a 35 mm. One of the good things of shooting 5K is when you are color grading it actually makes it easier. As you are changing the colors every small movement makes a difference.
So when I upgraded the CPU I filmed the whole entire thing of the Mac Pro 2010 starting up, how fast Pro Tools would start and how fast a Adobe Premiere would start. So when the Mac Pro 2010 started there was actually only a one second difference. When I started Pro Tools, it was actually the same, it was only one second faster. And you’ll guess it with Adobe Premiere it was only one second faster. So that I can claim that upgrading a CPU does not make the Mac Pro 2010 any faster. So was it worth that $100 upgrade from my Xeon 2.66 GHz to the Xeon 3.33 GHz? Well actually when I ever edited in 5K with Adobe Premiere, the software would always crash when I’m exporting it. But since I upgraded my CPU to the Xeon 3.33 GHz processor, it actually stopped the software from crashing time. So one good thing about upgrading your CPU, it will actually allow your computer to work stronger but not faster .
